The EU is following the controversy over the judicial shakeup “closely,” an EU official tells The Times of Israel.
“We welcomed the launching of the national dialogue in March under the auspices of the president of Israel, and we call on all parties to resume the dialogue,” the official continues, stressing the importance of a process that is inclusive and leads to compromise.
“Israel is a close partner of the EU,” adds the official, saying “relations are based on shared values, such as democracy, rule of law, including an independent judiciary, and human rights. It is important that these values are preserved.”
